As this list is only preliminary further nominations are possible and some player may not show up, but surely Ron King, Sergio Scarpetta, Alex Moiseyev, Lubabalo Kondlo and young Matteo Bernini are somehow favorites, but other strong grandmasters and masters may pull out a surprise.

In the Women's defending World Champion Amangul Berdiyeva is always a favorite as is former World Champion Nadiya Chyzhevska and, after her stunning performance in Rome last year, young Altynay Ovezova may be regarded as no outsider anymore.

I also think, based on the strong performances of the Ukrainian women school in all kind of draughts that Tetiana Zaitzeva might probaly be no outsider as well.

All the others also showed good performances in the past and will be hard to beat.

Ingo, GAYP is not my favor style and strength and never was. You can take my name out of this list or replace it by Jim Morrision - GAYP expert. The only thing I can try to achieve here - make someone unhappy

Alex, you are too humble. Your first US national win was a GAYP victory and you tied Ron King back then for the title. You may not like it, but we all know how good you are. Anyway, just like Ron King you are a living legend and you don't have to prove anything anymore, so you are still on my list of favorite players, as is Jim btw. Thank god our legendary Jim Morrison is still alive
